Train Derailment Dumps Two 737 Fuselages Into Clark Fork River
McGruber (1417641) writes "Boeing builds its 737 airplane fuselages in a Wichita, Kansas factory. The fuselages are then shipped on top of railroad flatcars (as shown in this photograph) to Boeing's Renton, Washington plant, where assembly is completed. Unfortunately, a train carrying two fuselages to Renton derailed approximately 18 miles east of Superior, Montana. The 737s slid down a steep embankment and ended up in the Clark Fork River. That'll buff right out."
According to the article, there was alcohol involved.
You're petrified of a guy who finds a tax on alcohol reasonable? And who can explain why that tax is there?
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
Boeing green is a standard anti corrosion paint they use. Most parts are green under toe topcoat.

The picture of a fuselage on a railcar and the two fuselages that fell into the river are all apple green colored
Why is that?
The green is a protective coating. It's removed with a solvent before painting. The yellow around the wingroots is zinc-chromate anti-corrosion paint, which is permanent. Most of the interior metallic structure is covered in chromate.
